We pray that those looking for an affirmation and sign will receive a clear, concise, and undeniable word from the Lord to encourage them in moving forward.

We lift up all of our volunteer teams across Canada—whether serving in-prison or in-community. May the Lord bring together perfect pairs for partners that help sharpen one another in the perfect ways needed. Fill their hearts with unwavering zeal to accomplish all that You give them to do.
We recently encountered a development setback with our partnership with Cloudstack, and we want to pray for God's richest blessings over them as an organization. May the Lord bestow favour, give opportunity for continued growth, and protect them from the snares of the evil one. May Your goodness shine upon them, Lord.
We lift up the diligent work of our development partners over at Brightmark and pray that the Lord will continue to give them wisdom and insight into the difficult work that they do.

We pray that in every way, God would find ways to draw our attention to the things we overlook or do not readily notice daily. May every day of service also be filled with special encounters with God through getting glimpses into the detailed ways that He considers our every way in His thoughts toward […]

We pray for more Spirit-led ideas for connecting families of prisoners to communities as we seek to build out the Angel Tree program's reach in a greater way to those we serve. Give us insight, Lord. Give us confirmation. Provide every resource needed and make a way.
As we develop our Prodigal Son curriculum, we ask the Lord to bring forth courageous men who are ready and willing to show forth the heart of our heavenly Father as they facilitate our newest curriculum to incarcerated men and women across Canada.
We pray that the Lord will stir up the areas across Canada that are lacking financial support so that every goal will be so overwhelmingly met and the future of the ministry work secured for years to come! We ask the Lord to establish us in key regions across Canada in ways that are immovable that […]
We continue to ask the Lord to inspire perfectly fitting marketing pieces through our marketing manager that will touch the lives of those who encounter it, and powerfully communicate the essence of transformation and all that the Lord is doing in the lives of prisoners.
